Re: Bar TV in town

Not necessarily - there is an available feed of a C4 signal provided for the Irish market with specific local advertising but getting that does not mean you get BBC/ITV as well - a completely separate thing - look at the webpage called "skyinmadrid" and the info is there for resetting to get the Iri...

After a long (self imposed) exile I am finally drawn to add my own view on the Intl School - if anyone is tempted to place their child(ren) in this school then I would suggest that they visit, hear the sales pitch, view the (dismal) facilities, think long and hard and then go somewhere (anywhere) el...

Fully agree with digger (again !) re the coriander - it definitely helps (as long as you've got it) but not absolutely critical IMHO - the dish can still be pretty OK without it (in my experience as many restaurants, at least down here anyway, use parsley or neither as do use coriander and mostly th...
